a lot of billionaires are doing fine things around the world and here in the united states. >> whether they're doing it for charity or whether they're reinvesting if their own company and new technology and employing more people. all of that i think is doing some good, but bill gates is a perfect example. he's worth 66 billion dollars. if you took his money away, the u.s. government borrows 4 billion dollars a day. so, if you took bill gates' money away, confiscated it tomorrow, it wouldn't cover the amount of money that the u.s. government borrows for a month. so, it doesn't solve our problems, to tax the rich, to take their wealth. it doesn't do anything to solve our long-term problems. >> greta: is this more just sort of that a the lot of people have suggested that there's a -- that people don't like rich people, sort of a war on rich people. >> yeah. >> greta: is that what this is, and a lot to be admired in this country. most people billionaires probably earned it or came up with a good idea. >> sure. >> greta: i don't know if anyone's inherited and doing good with this and even i
